摘要: Surgical reconstruction of proximal level nerve repair or long grafts have provided less than optimal results, presenting the opportunity for investigation alternate reconstructive techniques. Good motor function following an injury to a requires maximal number axons reaching end plate within critical time period. Nerve transfers eliminate need graft by allowing direct without tension. This article reviews surgical options using patients with upper and lower extremity injuries.
